Tony Parsons Daily Mirror (20/12/04)

If there's one thing that I learned from watching one of those "Dirty Harry" movies - it's this:

"Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one."

Meh.
I've taken shits that I cared more about then this piece of writing, but it doesn't phase me a bit (what he wrote that is). To be honest, he had some good one liners in there; to be fair. But other than that, it was just another man's opinion. Boo hoo. If anyone is truly affected by that, then they need some therapy because guess what? People have opinions. Woo!
cheers

Well, It is the first time I read something like that about our beloved band and, to be honest, it really shocked me. But, it is understandable, that that guy has (if any) a poor musical background while Queen has always had a very vast and large musical creativity, so I think it is such a waste of time worrying about that crap he wrote (if he really did, I don't think such an asshole could even spell his own name).

Everybody is free to express his own opinion. But to deny Queen's importance in music is simply silly. For example I don't like U2 or Madonna, but I can't deny they have a big role in music history

At least the guy is right about U2...

All I have to say is....

Those who can, do.....those who can't, become critics.....

PS....Libertines?? Wayne Sleep?? Huh??
Oh, I guess I am just an ignorant American....heh

Oh well...I'm late :). I couldn't add anything more to this discussion, all the big things have been said and I totally agree with you guys, he's a loser. After all, saying smth like the only reason Queen have got away with it is Freddie's ("the old tart"?!) sense of humour... hell, this shows all his stupidity. I'm sorry for him, being to see Queen at Wembley Arena must have been a trauma to him, it's perhaps one of the things which provoked his mental disabilities...

Yeh. Whatever. Heard it ALL before, Tony. A million times. A million and one now in fact. Tony Parsons' opinion is rubbish. His books are rubbish (got to page 25 of "Man And Boy" and threw it away personally). He's rubbish. So frankly if a tosser like Tony Parsons liked Queen, it'd be a worry to me. Glad to have nothing in common with him.

Tony Parsons slagged off John Peel too. So dont worry, hes a bitter man very much in the minority

f@lco said: So frankly if a tosser like Tony Parsons liked Queen, it'd be a worry to me. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

really? and why would it be a worry to you?
that is a truly odd statement....

1. there must be millions of tossers all over the world who like queen
2. why worry about who does/doesn't like queen?

Cos I wouldn't like to think that a tosser like that would have anything relevant in common with me.
Sorry if I offended you, Brenski, by calling him a tosser. Also - sorry you had trouble in following my posting. I'll try and speak a little plainer in future for you.

dear friend, I am from Argentina and i really appreciate your reply to the nonsense published by this tabloid regarding QUEEN. You really know how to express what you think (and I agree fully with you). Congratulations!!!!!

This is another second-hand jurnalist with no taste for music. I know that every one is entitled to their own opinion but this guys opinion is so far off that it can't be overlooked. Shame on you, Tony "second hand fucked up journalist" Parsons

Oh...and yes........
His right about U2
